Frequently asked questions about pau.dot
Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for BNPL checkout?
After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.
Can I use pau.dot for a deposit or booking payment?
Yes. pau.dot works well for collecting deposits, booking fees, or balances, pointing guests to a clear place to pay pau.dot. You redirect it to your booking or checkout system. Reserve pau.dot for bookings at /register.
For mobile money, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Can I claim multiple .PAY domains with one SMD if pau.dot is among them?
Each SMD is bound to a specific validated mark, so it can support a priority claim for pau.dot where the pau.dot string matches that mark. Different domains tied to different strings need their own matching SMDs. Use the right SMD for pau.dot when you register. Browse names at https://domain.pay/domains.
What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY when choosing bank.pay?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
